Most importantly, I'd like to say, keep the voice actor consistent with any set of voices. That goes with guard taunts and thief taunts. Many people like the "Joel" one, but it sticks out like a sore thumb from the other guard taunts available, and IMO, blemishes the Thief universe, especially with the W word.

If Thievery Beta 1.3 will have more characters to choose from, I'd suggest a single voice pack of taunts that can be optioned in Player Setup. You don't get all of the taunts, but only the ones in the pack you chose.

I like DP's suggestion of more ethnic groups. How about a black guard from Morroco or Ghana and a voice set with an accent from there? How about German guards with accents?

The thief voice taunts are OK, but is it just me or does the voice actor sound a little like Butthead from the MTV cartoon?

I'm all in favor of adding more taunts to the AI. Recording more and telling the AI to use a more varied voice pallete is always good!

YES!! finally someone else noticed that! They sound like big wimps.

Black jack whore sounds ok to me since it has an irish or scottish accent. I think they say the word whore a lot! =)

I think the AI guards should say "Thief in the ____" or "I need help in the ____ ."and fill in the blank with whatever room they are in so we know where to run. at least some sort of generic like what floor they are on ... or if they are outside or inside.

Guess I don't know my accents. I thought I heard a French guard ("What ees thiees? Eet ees notheeng.") I don't hear any gutteral Geman accents.... Ok, well then. How about a Sweedish accented guard? ("I am Hans, this is Frans, and we are here to PUMP you up!" "I'll be baaack.")
